Have you seen this Frog?

This is your friendly notice that all photos have finally been uploaded to the Jackal Photos page.  It has been a long time coming but the quality of these pictures are totally worth the wait.

Water Boarding

There is no doubt that this is one of the highlights of the year for me.  I watch this video and laugh every time.    I wanted to make sure that everyone gets to see this along with the rest of the Elk River photos that have been posted to the "Jackal Photos" page.  This is just another reason why a "Keg in the Coffin" should accompany us on every river trip.  My hat goes off to the Tugboat for making that happen last year.  I also know that nobody is more excited for float season '13 than him.



There are more videos yet to come so prepare yourself for a healthy dose of the Moon Burn.

Float Season 2013

The blog has been neglected for far too long. Its time to get back in gear. Last year saw the fewest miles floated by the Jackals in our four year history. Some of this was due to the awful weather and extreme drought. The rest of it was due to river dementia, PBR, and Loco Bombs. However, it also marked some of our biggest accomplishments. This was the year of the night float and the coffin keg. Its so hard to put into words how awesome things were last year. I pledge to do my damnedest to get up some of the great pictures that were taken along with a few other posts.

Now, for the real reason for this post. Another year is already upon us and we must begin to prepare mentally and physically for 2013. Here are the proposed floating dates and destinations for the big three. As always, spur of the moment adventures will be taking place outside of these trips. Let us know if there are conflicts cause I think we are pretty flexible if need be. In the words of the master motor-boater "All it will cost you to get a date changed is the scalp of Dustin Mareth."

Crawdad Boil / Flat creek : May 31 June 1-2
